Somatic education, as a set of bodily techniques and a relational process that affects our biology, consciousness, and the environment can be developed in the school for pedagogical purposes. This education can further be constituted as a mean of including bodily, behavioral, and physical fitness diversities. This assertion induces the development of reflections on some Somatic Education experiments/researches in Brazil, aiming to initiate an epistemological discussion for new curricular proposals of Physical Education in Brazilian Schools that involve the principles of Somatic Education in their basic education.
